Title: Asics 2016
Post by: edge on December 08, 2015, 04:52:30 AM
Asics 2016 shoes have appeared, and there's two new ones! Or updated models anyway, the Gel Gully 5 and 220no. Seems like they're getting more specialist rather than doing all-rounders' shoes so much any more (irritatingly for me), the 220no looks like a sturdy fast bowlers' boot and the Gully 5 aimed at batsmen. On the other hand, the Gullys are dead sexy... Decisions to be made before the season comes around!

The 220 is a colour update on the 210, along with some tech improvements, including making it lighter. It's very much an all rounders shoe

Ah right, looks a fair bit bullier than the 210s in the limited photos available. Glad to be corrected, thanks Jake!

What is the range in the uk ? I had a search on the website but they don't list cricket anymore. 

The ones above look tasty.

As much as I am a big fan of the new Asics shoes - especially the gel gully 5's - they used to be the entry level shoe at around £50 - this latest model is £90 or there abouts...  hurumph. puts grumpy face on. I am going to need a new job to pay for all this lovely new kit!

I've got the original Gel Advance's and they are still going strong. Since I've had them, I wouldn't think about any other cricket shoe.  However, as mentioned the prices are getting way too much for someone who only plays a handful of games a year (perhaps thats why they have lasted so long !).  If / when I need a new pair, I am waiting for the sales !
